She told The Times of India: "I don't think anybody would even dare to remake Mother India and if someone does then I will salute him, but I will not do it. It is unachievable, really.

"The other image we recreated was Sahib, Bibi Aur Ghulam and I remember seeing that picture when I was in school and finding it extremely intoxicating."
